Many of the repositories I've worked in for the last few years now have relied on .editorconfig files (editorconfig.org) to set certain basic indentation and whitespace rules across multiple editors. It would be nice if I could turn on an option in Beyond Compare that says "Automatically detect EditorConfig" or some such to establish these settings for a session, especially since I work across projects that use different options. I do think it should probably be optional, since it does involve scanning "up" the file-system path for one or more files, and so could increase start-up time slightly for single file diffs, e.g. when running git difftool.
Would this be generally valuable? If not, is there some command-line integration I could write myself, to convert .editorconfig files to something bcompare understands, and pass those options in at diff time?
